Only one singles match took place on Day 12 of the 2015 Australian Open, but what the day lacked in quantity, it more than made up for with quality. No. 1 Novak Djokovic defeated No. 4 Stan Wawrinka in five thrilling sets, earning a trip to the men's final to meet No. 6 Andy Murray.

This impending contest will be the 19th time the two have met, as Williams holds the 16-2 head-to-head edge. It may be tough sledding for Sharapova, as she hasn't found a way to defeat the No. 1 seed since 2004.
